  1. The Vietnam people hated the Chinese for hundreds of years. We were fools for getting involved. We made the Vietnamese and Chinese come together to fight us in a losing war half way around the world!

  2. I read a book on the war in Viet Nam from the Vietnamese perspective. The US sent soldiers on “tours” in the war which were typically a year or less. The Vietnamese were in it for the entire time or until they got killed. It was an awful time for them to NEVER get a rest or a real break. I wish I could remember the name of that book. Very enlightening.

  3. She didn’t take that weapon from an American, more then likely it was taken from a ARVN after a firefight either it had been abandoned or it was taken from a KIA ARVN! THAT PHOTO BRINGS BACK A TERRIBLE MEMORY FOR ME AS A FEMALE NVA lifted her weapon to fire on my Lt. And me coming down into a river crossing she and a male NVA less then 25 ft. Away, we fired first killing both they were trapped in the river 2 feet of water she carried an M16 rifle like the NVA in the photo the male had an AK47 rifle, the river ran red with blood, the female was alive gasping for air when we reached her but just barely she left us in a minutes time! A vivid memory of having but seconds to live on both sides who fired first was the difference! From the amount of medical supplies in the female’s pack we suspected she had been a nurse, she also carried a lot of ammo and a couple of grenades, and a diary we had a chopper come in to take all of their equipment back,, they we both battle worn!

    1. Sad. Know that they are free now. We shall go to our graves with all these kinds of memories. We did our job … got one another home! Many heros on both sides. You are one.

  4. Robert, You should go back! I did. You would find out that we were on the wrong side of history. This woman and millions of others should be admired for their dedication to their sovereinty. We may be in the same boat within the near future! Our main mission was to get one another home…you know that.

  5. We never learned our lesson as we stayed in Afghanistan for 20 years. Sad, but true. We can’t impose our style of governing on foreign countries.
